FACTS ABOUT RIBBONS.

Historical Data Relating to an Import.
ant and Steadily Growing Industry.
1t is known that the manufacture oi
ribbons was fairly established in st.
Etienne, France, in the eleventh CEN
tury, and that the place remains to this
day the principal center of the industry.
During the persecution Of the Hugvs-
nots in that country many of this ct.
Etienne operatives went to Basic,
Switzerland, and established the indns-
try there, where it became second only
to st. Etienne. The third most i'm
portant center was Coventry, England,
but Crefeld and Vienna are also large
producing centers. To-day there are
manufactured in the United States
quite as many ribbons as are made in
St. Etienne. The product of 5witzer-
land consists mainly of plain styles;
that of France largely Of fine and fancy
millinery goods; that Of Crefeld mainly
of black silk and black velvet ribbons,
the latter especially; that OF England
largely of plain goods; while the United
States tries every thing with much sue
cess, though dependent chiefly upon
Europe for the lead in styles. 1t is
curious fact that for five hundred years
ribbons were worn mostly by men
rather than by women, especially during
the long period of effemihacy in the
male attire. In the fifteenth to the
seventeenth centuries thnir use in Eng
land were restricted to the royalty ard
gentry by statute. In the time of Charles
IL. and James the II. the whole attire
was covered with ribbons. A fop in
those days was described as wearing
more than would stock half dozen
shops or twenty country peddlers. 1t
is another curious fact that in the man.
ufacture of ribbons the self-acting loom
was in use hundred years before Cart
wright's invention, and that in more
recent times little new has been added
in that branch of the silk industry

Rlnnd WIlI Tell

There is no question about it-blood will
tell-especially if it be an impure blood.
Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are
allsymptoms of an impure blood, due to the
improper action of the liver. When this
important organ fails to properly perform
its function Of purifying and cleansing the
blood, impurities are carried to all parts of
the system, and the symptoms above re-
ferred to are merely evidences of the
struggle OF Nature to throw off the poison

A MYSTERY.
Life held in her hands measure,


Life held In her hands q measure,
And swung it, lightly and low;
And she said: II will see il my pleasure
Do not outweigh my Woe"
And she gathered all stingless laughter,
AL loves that were lasting and sure,
AL joys that left memories after,
All wealth that was wingless and pure;
She gathered all sunlight and starlight,
All thornless and fadeless flowers;
She gathered the faint light and fair light
Ofpangess and perfect hours;
She gathered all glimpses elysian
That never had blasted the soul,
All hopes that had held to fruition;
All talents that won to the goal,
All wisdom that never had saddened,
All truths that never had lied,
All ambition that never had maddened.
All beauty that satisfied
And she flung them all, al In her measure,
But they nothing unbalanced the pain;
And she said: 81 must add yet treasure,
The kndest and best in my train"
And she reached out and took Death, and laid 1t,
All restful and calm, on the scale;
Yet pain, as before still outweighed It;
And she sighed as she said: Could this fails
Then she reached up to merciful Heaven,
Took down. and flung DER earth's strife
A little pale hope, all unproven-
The hope Of measureless life;
Flung 1t down with doubling and wonder,
With question and touch of disdain;
When 10! swift the light scale went under;
Lies woe was outweighed by Life's gain.
Oh! strange! Oh! most strange If the measure
OF all mortal days be but woe,
Compared with their acme of pleasure
Life mused as she hung the scale low,
Why, then, should it lengthen earth's sorrowf
Why magnify Deaths consequence
To believe in timeless tomorrow!
And Life held the scale in suspense.

The Fountain i'm Parma.

In the square close by is a statue TO
Parmeggianino, Of recent workmanship,
and a drinking fountain. There are but
two or three shoots of water in Parma,
but ever that is more than n can find in
most of these plain towns, and, especially
10 the traveller who has just left Switzer-
land, the loss Of running water is great.
No Swiss village is so mean, no town so
crowded, but from an unpretending iron
pipe there gushes forth, pellucid, glitter
ing and opulent, a stream Of the freshest
water, which leaps in a joyous and elastic
curve into a basin with a gay flash by
night and by day, and pours off with IN
grudging profusion.
But in these Lombard towns scarcely
here and there can be found a numbering
pump, with long and massive handle, at
which a few minutes sever toll produces
a mighty poor and niggard dribble Of wa
ter. Where fountains are they prattle
with n fatigued and ~parsimonious note
and shelter their inadequacy under some
statue in the modern taste. As a rule the
modern taste in Italy is not one whit bet
ter than in England. They delight to
honor the martyrs and heroes Of United
Italy. No town hut has its Corso Wit
torio Emmanuel and its Via Cavour,
with, for the most part, statues Of the
same. Here and there is a Via Massimn
d'AzegliO with no statue. These works of

The Koran's Hours Of Prayer.

The Koran has fixed the hours that
must be consecrated to prayers. These
prayers. namazi, are five in number. The
most solemn is the morning prayer; it is
the sabah namazi; it is uttered after the
dawn, Just before the rising Of the sun.
The second is the midday prayer, Guile
namazi. The third, jkindy namazi, must
be offered just before the setting Of the
sun. The evening prayer, aacham ma
mazi, is uttered just before the shadows
conceal the horizon. Finally, the last and
fifth prayer, yatcy namazi, is uttered in
the interval after shutdown and Just be-
fore dawn.
The hour Of prayers is regularly pro-
claimed to the faithful by the imams,
called muezzins, who walk around
the balcony Of the minarets, sing.
